ATLANTICUS brings together four jazz musicians from
each side of the Atlantic. Saxophonist PETER FRAIZE and
keys man TERRY SEABROOK teamed up 5 years ago
for a tour with trumpeter JACK KENDON and drummer
JOE EDWARDS. From the first gig their natural musical rapport
sealed the bonds for what is now ATLANTICUS,
delivering exciting and unforgettable performances.
Their music has a classic organ sound and is
mostly original, but includes the jazz classics and
appeals to jazz & non-jazz aficionados alike.

The MICK FOSTER QUARTET features Mick on baritone and
other saxes, DOMINIC ASHWORTH on guitar, TOM FARMER
on bass and TRISTAN MAILLIOT on drums. They play an attractive
mix of well known jazz pieces and melodic original
compositions. If you like your jazz warm, tasteful and
elegant, this is for you.
The band have released two albums, 'Four Views',
and 'Live At The Vortex' both of which
have had excellent reviews.
